You understand the models.
You’ve been trained.
You know what you’re “supposed” to do.
And yet…
When working with food and body, related issues, something can still feel incomplete.
You may notice:
Conversations staying at the surface
Uncertainty in more complex cases
A gap between knowledge and real application
That gap is not about information.
It’s about depth of understanding.
“When you rigidly limit the amount of food you are allowed to eat, it usually sets you up to crave larger quantities of that very food.”
― Evelyn Tribole
“When underfed, whether from a self-imposed diet or starvation, you will obsess about food.”
― Evelyn Tribole
“Food is a wonderful source of pleasure, but it will get you into trouble if it’s the only source of pleasure you have in your life.”
― Linda Bacon
“Our bodies are not meant to cut out food groups.”
— Heidi Schauster
This is mentorship
This is not supervision.
It’s not a certification.
And it’s not a step-by-step framework.
A space where you:
Think more deeply
See patterns more clearly
Develop your own clinical voice
Because real growth doesn’t come from more techniques, it comes from how you understand what you are seeing.
Deeper Clinical Insight
Move beyond behaviors into underlying patterns and meaning.
Confidence in Complexity
Feel more grounded when cases are not straightforward.
Integrated Thinking
Connect theory, experience, and real-life
application.
A More Authentic Approach
Develop a way of working that feels aligned and effective.

17 years teaching graduate-level counseling.
Adjunct instructor in group counseling, trauma, and child/adolescent therapy.
Ongoing mentorship of clinicians in practice.
Extensive work with food, body, and identity dynamics.
I am an Eating Disorder Informed Professional.
Over time, the focus has shifted from teaching information to helping clinicians develop deeper understanding.
This is for clinicians who:
Want to move beyond surface-level interventions.
Are willing to reflect on their own thinking.
Value depth over quick answers.
Are open to meaningful dialogue and exploration.
This is not for those looking for:
Scripts or rigid frameworks
Quick solutions
Passive learning
How it Works
Format
One-on-one or small group mentorship
Sessions
Virtual, scheduled based on availability
Focus
Case discussion, reflection, and guided exploration
Approach
Flexible and responsive, built around what you bring
Understanding shapes better work than technique alone.
This mentorship focuses on:
Awareness before intervention
Presence before performance
Insight before strategy
Because how you think directly impacts how you work.
